He brought hope when she had none, she brought sun during the worlds darkest hour Aurelia spent the first sixteen years of her life in the Illyrian mountains with her mother, dreading the day she would start her cycle. And of course, soon enough it came, for nature can only be slowed down; never stopped. Aurelia's mother helped her escape from the Illyrians' clutches, giving her the chance to start a new life, a better life. And she did, for a short time Aurelia thought she found her new home, until it all came crashing down. All good things must come to an end, right? Does that mean the bad things have an ending too, or will she be surrounded by darkness until the end of her days, never to see the sun again? (Helion/Original Character All rights go to Sarah J.
